Sunflower - LEMON - Dinky 50cm - (10 stems)

Brighten your designs with the sweetest blooms of the season: our British Dinky Lemon Sunflowers. Grown locally in the expansive fields of Lincolnshire, these miniature sunflowers are an absolute joy to work with. Unlike their massive, heavy-headed traditional counterparts, these dainty beauties feature compact flower heads measuring approximately 7cm in diameter sitting on sturdy, manageable 50cm stems.

Sold in bunches of 10 stems, their soft, pale lemon-yellow hue offers a refined and refreshing alternative to standard golden sunflowers. They are the ultimate choice for adding a cheerful, British-grown "ray of sunshine" to rustic jam jar arrangements, delicate meadow-style posies, and casual summer table scapes.

Florist Facts & Conditioning Tips

• Prevent Stem Slime & Bacteria: Sunflowers are notorious for producing thick sap that turns water foul and slimy very quickly, which blocks water uptake. To maintain crisp freshness and clear water, always use a CVBN Pill in their water bucket.
• Remove Excess Foliage: Strip away all lower foliage, leaving only a few leaves near the top flower head. This directs all the water's energy straight to the bloom and keeps water cleaner for longer.
• Vase Life Secret: Sunflowers are heavy drinkers but dislike deep, stagnant water which rots their hairy stems. Condition them in a clean bucket with fresh water treated with flower food and a CVBN tablet, maintaining a medium water level.
• Light Lovers: As a classic member of the Asteraceae family, these blooms will naturally look towards the light. Store them in an evenly-lit area of your workshop to prevent the stems from bending towards a single light source.
